Known as the heart and soul of Wales, the Valleys of South Wales are a must-see destination, with Afan Valley in the very heart. A region of breath taking natural beauty, Afan Valley is set amongst densely wooded forests and glorious countryside offering picture perfect and stunning views.

Untouched by urbanisation, this peaceful region of Wales is made up of a string of small villages, creating the perfect setting for a holiday escape. Designated a Forest Park in 1972 thanks to its lush landscape and stunning setting, this picture perfect region of South Wales is now a magnet for tourists who flock to visit the many walk and bike routes that scatter the vibrant green valleys. So much so, the area has now evolved into a hugely popular destination for outdoor activity and has become a premiere destination for world class mountain biking.

Named in the top ten places in the world to 'ride before you die', the park is home to four world class mountain bike trails and two family friendly routes, offering something for both amateur and more experienced bikers alike.

Of course, traversing around on two wheels is not the only way to discover the area and there are a variety of other outdoor pursuits to enjoy, including nature rambles and hikes, horse riding, kayaking, caving, climbing, gorge walking, fishing and visiting the spectacular waterfalls that are all in easy-reach.

Our stay in the beautiful Afan valley
It is a lovely apartment that met our needs. Beds were very comfortable and living room relaxing. Beautiful views from back of apartment. There are lovely walks for our dogs in the valley, it was only 15 minutes to the dog friendly end of the beach in Port Talbot. We had a great stay.

Simply Perfect!
My partner and I required somewhere to stay in the area at short notice, with a dog! Sarah was very quick to respond to me, and couldn't have been more helpful. The place was very warm and cosy with the greatest views from the back bedroom and kitchen. There is a wonderful cafe and shop downstairs, with a great selection of yummy treats.
